Crossing the Globe #1: Alcohol

“We actually have a proverb that a proper wedding should have a fight.” – Maria Golub on alcohol in Russia.

This week we’re speaking about attitudes towards alcohol in different countries and cultures. We hear thoughts from Dylan Stevens about gambling in Australia, Maria Golub about gendered consumption in Russia and Christina Ivey about the effects of no legal drinking age in Jamaica.

Welcome to the first episode of Crossing the Globe with Yasmina O’Sullivan from the Beaver Sound! We explore a crossborder issue each episode using the unique eyes of LSE international students. Through learning from each other we gain a better understanding of different ways to see the globe.
